“For the municipality of Sokolac, development of tourism is of much greater importance than small hydropower plants. Therefore, we have adopted the Development Strategy prohibiting constructions of them in the territory of ​​the local communities of Kaljina and Knežina, where the most beautiful rivers flow. Thus, we can prevent the abuse of the land for projects that could endanger our environment,” explained the mayor of Sokolac Milovan Bjelica (SDS), who was the first one to join the initiative on September 2nd 2020.
